I have a question, my primary hobby is rock climbing, and it's sort of my main focus outside of work. With rock climbing, its extremely sought after to be incredibly strong without being big, or heavy. Obviously there is no way to gain muscle without gaining that muscles weight, and I understand that focusing on exercises that directly translate to rock climbing would be the most efficient. I just wonder if there is an optimal way to workout to increase strength to the absolute maximum potential, while avoiding building bulk that may hinder mobility/flexibility. Can you do a video where you could show us what a routine would look like that is focusing entirely on strength gains as opposed to bodybuilding or aesthetics.
@renaissanceperiodization enjoy all your content but question about this workout. You often describe not needing to go all the way to failure. It appears Jeff went to failure this entire workout. Is this the end of a mesocycle?
literally, something about having him behind you making you feel like not a man for not doing something so simple. its like tom Platz without hair, youre on your 18th rep and hes like just stand up lmfao
@@JK-pp2xl Mike demands that Jeff and his wife do slow negatives......then goes fast on his own negatives and brags about how many reps he did. Mike tells them, "Better to make a rep harder than easier" .....while making his own reps easier. smh
Its so fun seeing somebody in such amazing shape, absolutely SUFFERING through leg day. It makes me feel better about myself for dry heaving at times, and pretending like I need to get some water at the other end of the gym so I don’t start crying.
Mikes strict form, high reps, slow eccentric and myoreps is The Way. Made a massive difference to my training results. No more ego. I don’t care if I’m using small weight if it’s all I can do following those guidelines. My only complaint is I wish I recognized this years ago.
Yeah, I gotta say the slow eccentrics has really made a noticeable difference in my training. I'm also a bit older so it's a great way to add "difficulty" without just adding more weight.
I cannot comment on the myoreps, but slow eccentric and explosive concentric is one of the best things I have learned from Mike. I am lifting a bit less weight today than a few months ago, but the improved technique feels like progress.
A lot of people can use more weight than they think. Strict and slow is great but a bit of sloppy (still good form) strength training has its place. There's a reason Crok rows are awesome for strength gains and there's a reason Lu Xiaojun trains the way he does. Strict is great too, but doing both is actually the way.
I discovered this channel a few weeks ago and very quickly realized why I wasn't making more gains. Now I have been prioritizing technique, full ROM, going slow and pausing at the stretch. Though I've had to lift slightly lighter weights and do less reps, my workouts have dramatically improved. Dr. Mike's advice is so simple and obvious but sometime's you just gotta hear it from an expert.
It must be permeating through the masses because im seeing more people in the gym with lower weights, slower eccentrics and better technique with full ROM...when I see someone doing this its like seeing another motorcycle rider when im out riding im like this guy gets it lol
Same, I’m a late beginner, early intermediate. Slowing down, concentrating on the stretch has me getting sore again and huge pumps. Couldn’t be happier.
This is a trip cause I went to high school with Jeff when he was a pretty slim physique and I saw him online when he became an influencer. Super impressed with him and the scientific approach he follows to his training. Then just came across RP channel randomly couple months ago and digged it. Then this colab is totally out of left field. For the record, Jeff was only an acquaintance but always a gent and smart as hell
@@OmahaTonyGis that even true though like is there anything that actually shows that Jeff leaves a ton of reps in the tank? Because not only does he advocate the same 3-0 rir range that dr mike does for hypertrophy, but he also on several occasions has had disagreements with dr mike and has said that you should go to failure more often than what dr mike recommends (one set per exercise I think was the position he was defending) I hear people say the whole “Jeff doesn’t train hard” thing but no one actually points to specific examples or quotes or positions that Jeff has or really anything that actually shows that so I was wondering where that comes from
Lol, I totally understand. I feel the same way. Although Will Tennyson once said: "Don't compare other people's highlight reels to your behind the scenes" Just do you...but be honest with yourself about it. If you feel like you can lift more, do it. If you can get more reps in a set, do it. If you have bad form, hold yourself accountable and redo the reps with good form....but know your limits as well. You owe yourself the honesty.
Jeff is a real one, you can tell he really practices what he preaches in his videos and takes his own lifting routine really seriously. Wild how well he was able to handle the workout!
Jeff was the first person I ever bought a program from when I decided to start lifting seriously again, and one of the first in the fitness world I watched regularly. Love this.
Jeff really gets it; he's the first one I've seen that does clean reps through the turmoil to the end without needing a cattle prod to get moving again during rest-pause, and that includes power lifters and pros. Dr. Mike is, as always, the cleanest thing I've ever seen. Well done!
One of the best things I have done for my lifting is watch this channel. Your workouts with pros and influencers helps to motivate me and watching the technique you instruct has instructed my own. My last chest and arm day I followed the cues from videos like this and had the best pump in my biceps and triceps that I’ve had in the last 7 years of lifting. Thanks for the quality content.
Jeff's control and tempo is astonishing. There are times where it looks like the videos is in slow motion, but nope, Jeff is milking those eccentric rep out with such a deep gnarly stretch and under such control, you can tell that this is a person who understands lifting
He said it to him before that as well ("you could get that if you just try harder" etc referring to hammy curls with a hip swing). Imma have to go back and watch if Mike tells everyone else to "try" multiple times or if he thinks Jeff ain't about that hard work life
I 100% felt the intensity in this workout. If I hadn’t have already done my workout for the day and have hockey in 3 hours I’d be hitting the weights again today. That was insanity, loved it.
It’s always really great to see Dr. Mike and Jeff do a collaboration. Also, Dr. Christle intensity and effort while lifting is top-notch. Jeff performance was phenomenal and Dr. Mike advice and technique are on point as usual. Perfect work! 👍💪🙏
You think this is a collaboration? Only in the sense where a baseball bat collaborates with a ball, or better yet in the sense where the whoopin' collaborates with the ass. Dr Mike could easily have crushed Niptard at any point, that's no collab!
4:30 "and then the reps will happen, or they won't" took me years to not only accept, but embrace. I finally reached the point where I can now allow myself to NOT match a rep target because in order to do so I would have to compromise my standardized technique.
This is high quality content. 2 of my favorite fitness RUclipsrs working out and pushing themselves at the gym. Good stuff all around. Helps to keep me motivated for my workout tomorrow
6:57 this is madness, i've never witness something like this, i can't even describe it, it would be interesting seeing more training videos with dr.christle
Dr Mike, ever since I have found your channel my workouts have really advanced. Focusing on form, intensity, eccentric movements and approaching them from a science based perspective has changed the game! Loved hearing you tell Jeff to finish, reminds me of last Saturday. Contact Will Tennyson would love to see you take him through a workout
14:23 is such a legendary moment. The emotions coming out from everyone had me cheering at my own house for Jeff as I would for any sports team.. Dr. Mike's encouragement will get you through any hurdle, that I wholeheartedly believe!
Yes! Fucking love this collab. The two individuals I’ve learned most about training from. Need more workouts and/or training discussions from these two.
Mike at 16:55 straight up looking like he's about to make his ascent back to the immortal world amongst the Greek Gods. One of my favourite RP videos so far, tomorrow's leg day is going to be wild 🔥🔥🔥
I know rationally I'm a beginner in weightlifting, but damn. watching sessions like this makes me feel like I'm barely putting in effort in the gym 😂 I can only imagine the soreness the day after this
Scott the video guy, if you edited this part at 17:59 with the music and fade into the final set, that was awesome editing. That grim spiritual music as the heros descend into their final battle. The anticipation was great.
I had an old bodybuilder as a PT for a few months back in the day. Leg days always ended with me squirming on the ground with my quads feeling like they had absorbed half the blood in my body lmao. I love watching these videos, takes me back (although my training definitely wasn't as effective lmao).
Dr. Mike’s mind-muscle connection at 04:50 is so strong that even his brain is getting a pump. Motor cortex gyri clearly visible pressing THROUGH his skull. Mad respect sir. 🫡
Love your collabs with Jeff, mainly because it puts to rest all that nonsense out there that he doesn't "Train Hard" per some other fitness content creators, lol. You guys are hilarious together as well!
12:23, you can tell how Mike and his wife are the perfect couple. They both gave the same exxact "Up! Up!" to Jeff. There was no mercy from either of them. Power couple right there.
This got me so hyped up about my workout tomorrow. I had leg day today and my trainer pushed me hard, specially with the hack squat. Love the pump, thanks for the video
You always get me motivated with your videos Mike. I am 44 and started this type of training 4 months ago and I feel so much better than before, my joints were always hurting because I was lifting way too heavy before. Now my joints are completely rehabilitated ❤😊
Legs always have way more to give than ya think. I’ve learned that lesson probably 10 times by now. I think for sure I’m at failure, I’m about to fn die, then I somehow manage 8 more reps. I don’t have good cardio either so it’s not like that’s my crutch 😂 legs just keep going and going and going. It’s fucking miserable.
That’s also NOT failure…. That is well beyond failure and something you should not do very much at all. Remember these videos are for show. If you trained to that intensity you would not be ready for the next leg session and probably not the one after that either.
@@amorfati4927Yeah, it's good to go there in the week before deload. Otherwise you're juts frying your joints and yourself, and Mike says so himself in many places. But 2 RIR workouts just don't make popular videos. Basically, 100% agree with frills. 😄
This channel has saved my lifting. I’ve lifted for four years now, and this is the first time I’ve had consistent chest pump and soreness because of RP’s videos!!!
Always forgetting how strong Dr. Mike is until he’s in a new video…holy fuck those hack squat reps were absolutely nuts. Watching Jeff Nippard get the RP treatment is awesome too. It’s the perfect YT fitness collab 🔥
@@alaron5698he was a drug free powerlifter before so that’s probably got a lot to do with it. But even so you’re gonna get stronger if you’re increasing the weight and with Dr Mike being an advanced lifter, the strength makes sense. Just takes a while to get there if you’re optimizing for muscle growth.
I’m all about pushing hard in the gym to maximize volume & intensity, but as experienced as I am, this workout would have broken me & left me with soreness that would have me bedridden for almost a week. Jeff is a beast for handling this as well as he did. 💪
Yes this is a pro level workout. Not for someone who has a 9 to 5 job . For quads , after 2 or 3 warm up sets i can do one all.out failure set on the hack sqaut machine, approaching their intensity, but only one set and then im done for quads completely
@@iang8169 You can still do this with a 9 to 5 but definitely not often. At the end of a hypertrophy block for example. Best to do it on a friday so you have 2 days to recover lmao
Timing my breathing is so difficult and I'm glad Jeff asked about this. A video explaining breathing and bracing before doing specific workouts would be amazing
Same i am a mouth breather and on intense leg days such as lunges or any exercise that takes a little longer to finish i find my self doing powerlifting style breathing and in a couple of set my mouth dries up and i feel like throwing up , but i will try this multiple breth tech. on next leg day
@@Static-ashthat's not freaky at all. That's tall for a woman, but a lot of men are so much bigger it works out fine. It'd be worse if you were 4ft or 6ft 6 + lmao
I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that you did not ruin your friendship with Nipps.. but I know another Mike that has. Please weigh in Dr. Mike.. the community needs you. Peace, love and full rom.

Getting off the leg extension and trying to walk in a controlled manner to somewhere no one can see me shed a tear
dont worry loads of people suffer leg day, ive suffered every leg day for years ! squats done right wi9ll always make you suffer !

How 15:04 didn't make the thumbnail truly astonishes me! 🤣
Love your collabs with Jeff, mainly because it puts to rest all that nonsense out there that he doesn't "Train Hard" per some other fitness content creators, lol. You guys are hilarious together as well!
12:23, you can tell how Mike and his wife are the perfect couple. They both gave the same exxact "Up! Up!" to Jeff. There was no mercy from either of them. Power couple right there.
This got me so hyped up about my workout tomorrow. I had leg day today and my trainer pushed me hard, specially with the hack squat. Love the pump, thanks for the video
Well done Jeff. That was motivational, instructive, and entertaining. What more could you ask for !
Ooo I love this!
Get Will Tennyson in some of your videos as well!😍
We shall try! - Dr. Mike
Dude has huge nostrils. Probably snort up all of your cocaine 😂. No but serious, there something I don't like about him. Maybe too cocky. Not sure
You always get me motivated with your videos Mike. I am 44 and started this type of training 4 months ago and I feel so much better than before, my joints were always hurting because I was lifting way too heavy before. Now my joints are completely rehabilitated ❤😊
14:27 “try Jeff” I need someone to raise there voice at me like that 😅
I’m so happy for Mike, he finally found a room he can feel tall in
That Rogers Squat set was unreal to watch, makes me realize what I consider failure is probably not even close to
Depends. If you're doing 20rm loads failure is kinda blurry. If you're doing 4rm that last rep you thought was in the tank can easily fold you over
Legs always have way more to give than ya think. I’ve learned that lesson probably 10 times by now. I think for sure I’m at failure, I’m about to fn die, then I somehow manage 8 more reps. I don’t have good cardio either so it’s not like that’s my crutch 😂 legs just keep going and going and going. It’s fucking miserable.
@@ShvabicuYou think you are going to die, but there is always 1 more after rest pause
That’s also NOT failure…. That is well beyond failure and something you should not do very much at all.
Remember these videos are for show. If you trained to that intensity you would not be ready for the next leg session and probably not the one after that either.
@@amorfati4927Yeah, it's good to go there in the week before deload. Otherwise you're juts frying your joints and yourself, and Mike says so himself in many places. But 2 RIR workouts just don't make popular videos.
Basically, 100% agree with frills. 😄
How did you feel being the tallest person on the video, Dr Mike?
Eh, about the same haha. - Dr. Mike
better to make a rep harder than easier, wow nice quote, It changed my vision of pushing more.
you know it's intense when you can feel the intensity by proxy through the screen.
Jeff did the cleanest reps from all of them
Can’t wait to watch. I think I discovered Mike and RP from watching a Jeff video like three years ago. Both excellent content providers!
Holy hell Dr. Mike! Needed this before my early leg day sess! Love that intensity Jeff "I got more!" That's how champions are made 💪
"No nodding no, only nodding yes. It's gonna happen." classic
I'm glad the title was facetious.
These principles work.
Thanks Jeff Nippard, thanks Dr. Mike
This channel has saved my lifting. I’ve lifted for four years now, and this is the first time I’ve had consistent chest pump and soreness because of RP’s videos!!!
Coach Greg will love to see Jeff training harder than last time!
Always forgetting how strong Dr. Mike is until he’s in a new video…holy fuck those hack squat reps were absolutely nuts.
Watching Jeff Nippard get the RP treatment is awesome too. It’s the perfect YT fitness collab 🔥
I gotta wonder though, did he build that strength using this technique? What he's doing isn't exactly the standard strength building formula.
Holy 200kg squat bald Dr. Batman indeed
@@alaron5698he was a drug free powerlifter before so that’s probably got a lot to do with it. But even so you’re gonna get stronger if you’re increasing the weight and with Dr Mike being an advanced lifter, the strength makes sense. Just takes a while to get there if you’re optimizing for muscle growth.
I’m all about pushing hard in the gym to maximize volume & intensity, but as experienced as I am, this workout would have broken me & left me with soreness that would have me bedridden for almost a week. Jeff is a beast for handling this as well as he did. 💪
Yes this is a pro level workout. Not for someone who has a 9 to 5 job .
For quads , after 2 or 3 warm up sets i can do one all.out failure set on the hack sqaut machine, approaching their intensity, but only one set and then im done for quads completely
@@iang8169 You can still do this with a 9 to 5 but definitely not often. At the end of a hypertrophy block for example. Best to do it on a friday so you have 2 days to recover lmao
Jeff is such an absolute beast. Glad you did a collab with him :)
Timing my breathing is so difficult and I'm glad Jeff asked about this. A video explaining breathing and bracing before doing specific workouts would be amazing
Same i am a mouth breather and on intense leg days such as lunges or any exercise that takes a little longer to finish i find my self doing powerlifting style breathing and in a couple of set my mouth dries up and i feel like throwing up , but i will try this multiple breth tech. on next leg day
"15 reps" - lol you could see the life leave his body there.
That comment to " prioritize technique and the reps will happen or they wont." Is perfect
Glad to see Jeff back on the channel, this is gonna be fun.
Edit: Jeff is really showing them what he’s made of as usual, awesome!
"there will be comfort somewhere today, but it won't be in this gym." - now we're talking
19:00 i love how mike is kind and empathetic, but honest and straightforward. squeezes it out of jeff. brutal workout.
Dr. Mike, I love your coaching. No overally motivational b.s. just your not gonna die stop over thinking and move the weight.
Jeff makes Dr. Mike look tall 😂
Hey! I AM TALL! LOLLLLL - Dr. Mike
You were this day anyway
@@Static-ashhater 😂
@@GameN3rdz I'm just mad I'm a 5'11" female freak haha
@@Static-ashthat's not freaky at all. That's tall for a woman, but a lot of men are so much bigger it works out fine. It'd be worse if you were 4ft or 6ft 6 + lmao
Everyone talking about dr. Mike and jeff but ms. Isratel also looking strong af
Dr. Isratel*
she's actually a war demon. legend says she would crack her enemies skulls betwixt her missive thighs.
Her quads make mine look like a joke. 😅
*Dr. Guevarra
In Mike's other videos he's such a fun loving and humorous fellow, but we all know deep down he's a sadist
I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that you did not ruin your friendship with Nipps.. but I know another Mike that has. Please weigh in Dr. Mike.. the community needs you. Peace, love and full rom.
That was really fun to watch, well edited! Looking forward to more of these
